2.1.2 WATER TANK
Water tank cover
Lift off the water tank cover (remove protective plastic sheeting from the cover) and attach the
cover's handle knob with a screw in such a way that the knob is on the outside.
Water tank spout
To avoid damage during transport, the spout of the stove's water tank has been installed on the
inside. The delivery includes the spout, two gaskets and a nut. The spout should be attached on
the exterior of the water tank as follows (Picture 1):
x
Lift water tank from its place.
x
Place first gasket on the spout's winding.
x
Push spout into hole in the stove's mantle.
x
The second gasket is placed on the spout's winding on the inside of the mantle.
x
Lift water tank into its place and set its hole on the winding part of the spout.
x
Set the water tank's edge on the side support.
x
Place the nut on the spout's windings inside the tank and tighten with suitable tool.
2.2. Stones and their arrangement
Use peridotite or dunite or darkish natural stones with diameters of over 10 cm. (4”) always wash
the stones before installing them. They must not be stacked too tight or heaped up – arrange
them so that plenty of air can pass between them to warm the upper stones, as well. Fill the
stone compartment up to the edge, with flat stones in upright positions (Picture 2.2.). The
maximum stone capacity is about 60kg. (132 lbs).
By adjusting stone size, amount and adding other types of stone you can balance the steam
consistency to suit the sauna and your preferences. Since these are highly individual, we cannot
give a general rule of thumb – you will find the right mix by trial and error.
For the stove’s proper functioning it is essential that the hot air circulates between the stones to
heat them quickly. If the stones are too small or improperly arranged, you will heat the sauna
instead of the stones!
2.3. Stove base
The stove must be installed horizontally, on a stable and unmoveable non-flammable or
fireproofed base. For this, you may either use a separately sold protective stove base (sold at
many hearth stores) or a concrete sheet with a minimum thickness of at least 60 mm (2 3\8”) with
a slight incline towards the back and a smooth surface.
The front corners of the stove are equipped with adjustment screws, with which it can be
straightened horizontally on an inclined. The adjustable legs are delivered in the equipment bag
in the stove’s fire compartment. Screw them into place and adjust as needed.
We do not recommend installing the stove directly on a tiled floor, as its moisture sealing, tile
glue etc. may contain components that are not heat resistant.
Fireproofing of the floor on flammable material:
400 mm (16”) in front of the stove
250 mm (10”) to the sides
